Celeste didn't think it couldn't get any weirder than waitressing at an exclusive erotic masquerade ball for the uber-rich. Then she caught the eye of her gorgeous billionaire boss, Griffin Steele. What started out as one night of anonymous hedonistic bliss quickly spirals into full-blown feelings, catapulting Celeste into the cruel world of the rich and powerful. **************** GRIFFIN STEELE: I've never lost my head over a woman and I've sure as shit never been in love because it's a myth. A chemical farce masquerading as temporary insanity. It's all a game of give and take, but to men like me, it's a ruthless takeover. At least, that's what I told myself. Then that twenty-something temptress waltzed into my world and upended everything. CELESTE MARTIN: Talk about a weird night. I got harassed, assaulted, and fired (not necessarily in that order) before spontaneously combusting into raw sexual energy with my former boss. And Griffin Steele wasn't just a worldly billionaire-slash-untouchable Green Tech god. From his dusky blue bedroom eyes to his aura of quiet power, the man was hazardous to my health (and my underwear). We were a burst of ephemeral magic. An incredible fluke that left my legs quivering and my body craving so much more. And unfortunately, it can't 👏 happen 👏 again 👏 2023 WATTYS SHORTLISTED STORY 🏆 ***Please note, this book has been taken down for editing.

How exactly does he plan on paying me triple? He grabbed my wrist and pulled me inwards. My face inches away from his chest. With his free hand, he was gently tucking my hair behind my ear.

"Wh-why did you stop the elevator?",I asked. He turned on his feet to face me again. "You were saying?" He asked completely ignoring my question. He took another step forward and I stepped back again and I bumped my back on the wall as I felt the cold mirror on my skin. "That you like him." He said. "I-I don- -", I stammered looking down as Christian brought his hand close to my face tugging a stray strand behind my ear. I tilted my face up to meet his blue orbs. He stepped more closer to me as our chests touched. I gulped down contemplating our short proximity. He then slid his fingers down my bare arm raising goosebumps on my skin. He leaned closer to me. "Does he have this effect on you?", He whispered as his cool minty breath fanned my cheek. My heart was throbbing against my chest so hard as if it'd come out uniting with his. There was a small smile playing on his lips making me feel that he was enjoying what was happening to me. With a quick movement he slipped his arm around my waist tugging me more into him. I dropped the files and my handbag and placed my hands on his big muscular chest. His face was mere centimetres away from mine. "Christian...", I whispered looking at his lips. "Tell me." He whispered in his deep velvety voice as he brought his other hand to my face, caressing my bottom lip with his thumb. I looked back into his ocean blue eyes to see him gaze at my lips with his dark, lustful eyes. He flipped a lock of hair away from my shoulder exposing it. He came closer and closer to me. _________________________ Reign Adams is a beautiful and bold woman who happens to be the CEO of Adams Hotels.
